Hotspa are probably going to be a big deal. Remember that time I told you Jinja Safari were going to be big and now they’re bigger than U2? ACT LIKE YOU KNOW IT! It’ll happen again. I’m making this call on the back of a single song with a film clip. It’s a nice film clip though. It’s a compilation of clips of people that (I assume) are the band’s family and friends doing all sorts of Aussie, summery things. The song rules though. Here is that song.

Hotspa – Kiola Beach

There’s been a swathe of supergroups popping up over the past 6 months so here is a completely inconclusive and subjective guide to a few of them. – Retrospectively, after rereading what I’d written here, I’ve realised that this is neither subjective nor a guide.

Cee-Lo Green (of Gnarls Barkley fame) very recently released this cover of Band of Horses ‘No One’s Gonna Love You’. I don’t love this version but it’s always interesting to hear a track I love done by another artist. Also, I’m no film critic but whoever directed this must have pitched it a little like this: “Look, this is what I’m thinking for the video. We have a really nice American road trip style thing. You know, diners, swimming, car scenes, all that crap. But here’s our angle. Amid all these scenes we’ll make sure we slot in some unnecessary boob action! Guys will love it. They’ll be enjoying the scenery when BAM! Breasts! This is going to work. Bigtime.”
